&lt;p&gt;Nothing should die without the benefit of Roids! and yes, a few of us may consider roids to be an abbreviation of haemorrhoids, but I think steroids would be more common!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Lethargic Staffie</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/4921?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2009 22:21:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:4558d03f-e88d-4930-a467-09f23954a439</guid><dc:creator>Mark Frost</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;[quote user=&amp;quot;Evelyn Barbour-Hill&amp;quot;]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Been at his owner&amp;#39;s stash perhaps? &lt;img src="https://www.vetsurgeon.org/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A distinct possibility.. and one on the list of theories already, tactfully discussed with owners but not admitted to missing any!&amp;nbsp; Lovely owners but son often has a distinctive air about him, and when there used to be a jelly bean dispenser in the waiting room, (a whole other discussion!) he&amp;#39;d rapidly empty it.. (classic munchies...)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;?? for the abbreviation or usage? Roids = steroids.&amp;nbsp; Used in case of Addisons, (no hydrocortone around) and also because I thought there was a distinct chance it might expire before I had the chance to do too much else...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Lethargic Staffie</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/4920?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2009 22:08:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:788c1949-884b-4db7-8857-6468a0c05274</guid><dc:creator>Evelyn Barbour-Hill</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Been at his owner&amp;#39;s stash perhaps? &lt;img src="https://www.vetsurgeon.org/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
